2007 Chrysler Town & Country Complaint Log

THE VEHICLE STALLS AFTER REFUELING THE FUEL TANK. THE VEHICLE WAS INMOTION ON A CITY STREET. STARTED FINE BUT AFTER GETTING ABOUT A QUARTER MILE DOWN THE ROAD BEGAN TO RUN ERRATICALLY AND THEN STALLED WHILE ROLLING TO A STOP.

AFTER REFUELING GAS TANK (TO THE POINT OF AUTOMATIC SHUTOFF) RESTARTED VEHICLE AND PROCEEDED TO LEAVE STATION. THE VAN STALLED AS PULLING OUT OF STATION ONTO CITY STREET, WHICH ALMOST CAUSED ACCIDENT FROM APPROACHING VEHICLE, AND STEERING AFFECTED AS WELL. PREVIOUSLY, HAVE EXPERIENCED THE VAN ALMOST STALLING, BUT THEN CATCHING IN AFTER A FEW SPUTTERS, WHICH IN ITSELF WAS SCARY. HAVE FOUND MANY COMPLAINTS FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM WITH NUMEROUS YEAR DODGE AND TOWN & COUNTRY MINIVANS ONLINE AT: ALLEXPERTS.COM/Q/CHRYSLER-REPAIR-807/F/STALLING-REFUELING.HTM. FOLKS THERE STATING THEY HAVE BEEN TOLD THEY HAVE TO REPLACE ENTIRE FUEL TANK TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. IT IS HARD TO BELIEVE THE MANUFACTURER DOES NOT KNOW ABOUT THIS PROBLEM WITH SO MANY COMPLAINTS ONLINE! AS MINIVAN CHOICE OF VEHICLE FOR FOLKS WITH FAMILIES OF SMALL CHILDREN, THIS SEEMS LIKE A DIRE PROBLEM IN NEED OF INVESTIGATION NOT ONLY FOR THE YEAR 2007, BUT FROM 2003 ON.

IF I USE THE KEY FOB OR THE INTERIOR PANEL BUTTON TO RAISE THE TAILGATE IT WILL START TO SHUT ON ITS OWN AND WILL PUSH THEN PIN YOU DOWN QUICKLY TO THE VEHICLE UNTIL SOMEONE HITS EITHER BUTTON OR IT FINALLY DISENGAGES WHICH TAKES AWHILE. IT DOESN'T BOUNCE BACK UP IF IT TOUCHES YOUR BODY. TAILGATE WILL SOMETIMES START RAISING AND SHUTTING SEVERAL TIMES. MOSTLY HAPPENS IF THE WEATHER IS COOL TO COLD. THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY - LOADING GROCERIES. MANUALLY UNLOCKING IT AT THE TAILGATE THE DOOR WILL NOT STAY UP BUT IT DOES NOT PIN. MOSTLY HAPPENS WHEN TEMPERATURES ARE COOL TO COLD. IT STARTED DOING THIS SINCE LAST YEAR AROUND THE HOLIDAY SEASON. LAST TIME WAS EARLY MARCH 2016. REPORTING SO INTERESTED BUYERS KNOW TO ASK ABOUT THIS ISSUE IF ITS NOT COLD AND FOR PRESENT OWNERS WATCH FOR THIS PROBLEM WHEN LOADING ITEMS AND TO KEEP CHILDREN/ELDERLY AWAY FROM TAILGATE AT ALL TIMES WHEN OPEN.

AFTER FILLING MY GANDMOTHERS GAS TANK ON HER 2007 TOWN AND COUNTRY WE PULLED ONTO THE STREET AND THE WHOLE CAR STALLED OUT AND I LOST CONTROL OF MY STEERING WHEEL AND BREAKS. IF IT HADN'T BEEN FOR QUICK REACTION TIME ON MY PART. WE WOULD HAVE BEEN IN A COLLISION. IT'S NEVER HAD A PROBLEM BEFORE. IN ORDER TO GAIN CONTROL BACK I HAD TO THROW THE VAN IN PARK AND THEN IT RESTARTED AND DROVE WITH NO PROBLEM HOME.

MY 2007 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY TOURING STALLS AFTER A FULL TANK FILL UP. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE, IT HAPPENS AFTER EVERY FILL UP.

WHILE DRIVING ON EXPRESSWAY AT 70 MPH, I PULLED TO THE LEFT TO AVOID A VEHICLE ENTERING MY LANE AND THE CAR SIMPLE STALL. NO WARNING, ALL ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON AND AFTER STOPPING IN THE CENTER MEDIAN, I ATTEMPTED TO RESTART THE VEHICLE WITH NO RESULTS. AFTER HAVING VEHICLE TOWED TO THE NEAREST FACILITY, I WAS TOLD THAT THE FUEL PUMP DIED AND HAD A SHORT. AFTER REPLACING THE FUEL PUMP, THE CAR WOULD RUN FOR 9 MINUTES AND WOULD SHUT DOWN. THE MECHANIC INFORMED ME THAT ONE OF THE ELECTRICAL CONTROL MODULES WAS FAULTY CAUSING THE ALTERNATOR TO OVER CHARGE AND SHUT OFF. I HAVE HAD ISSUES SINCE WE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN 2007 WITH THE GAUGES SHUTTING DOWN AND THE CAR SHUTTING DOWN. I HAVE ASKED THE DEALER ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND THEIR RESPONSE HAS ALWAYS BEEN THAT IT DOESN'T HAPPEN WHEN THEY HAVE THE VEHICLE. NOW I FIND OUT THAT THE CHRYSLER DEALER STATED TO THE PEPBOYS MECHANIC THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE TOWN AND COUNTRY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. WHILE DRIVING AT 25 MPH, THERE WAS A BURNING RUBBER ODOR. THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE SUBFRAME ON THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE OVER THE MUFFLER WAS MELTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 62,000.

CAR STALLED APPROACHING STOP LIGHT. WOULD NOT RESTART. WAS ABLE TO JUMP START IT AND TOOK IT IN TO SERVICE. TOLD THAT THE LOWER END WAS BAD AND ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. SOME OF THESE CARS HAD A LIFETIME POWERTRAIN WARRANTY, I MISSED THE WINDOW BY LESS THAN 6 MONTHS. CLEARLY, THEY KNEW THERE WAS A PROBLEM AND DID NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL TANK ONLY ACCEPTED TWO GALLONS OF FUEL AT A TIME. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER AND IT WAS DIAGNOSED FOR FUEL VALVE FAILURE. THE PART WAS UNAVAILABLE FOR REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 56,000.

INSIDE OF THE DOME DRIVERS AND PASSENGERS DOME LIGHTS MELTED (APPARENTLY FROM HEAT OF BULBS) AND SHORTED BULBS. LOSS OF LIGHT IS INCONVENIENCE/HAZARD....BUT IT APPEARS TO BE HOT ENOUGH TO CAUSE FIRE OR OTHER ELECTRICAL PROBLEM(S). THIS PROBLEM SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN REPORTED MULTIPLE TIMES BY OTHER OWNERS.

THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR SENSOR AND VALVE STEM. THIS PART KEEPS ON BREAKING FOR NO APPARENT REASON. I HAD TO REPLACE AT LEAST 4-5 OF THEM. YESTERDAY, THE STEM FRACTURED WHEN I WAS TRAVELING DOWN A COUNTY HIGHWAY ABOUT 40 MPH. I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY COAST TO A STOP AND CHANGED THE FLAT. I HAD THE VALVE/SENSOR REPLACED WHICH COST ME ABOUT $100. THAT IS NOTHING COMPARED WITH THE POTENTIAL HAZARD OF THE STEMS BREAKING AT HIGHER SPEEDS. THE SITUATION COULD HAVE BEEN CATASTROPHIC. I BELIEVE THE PART HAS A DESIGN FLAW. IT IS MADE OF WHITE METAL OR ALUMINUM AND DOES NOT HOLD UP. THE SENSORS ARE QUITE EXPENSIVE. NEWER ONES ARE PLASTIC OR EVEN A DIFFERENT DESIGN. MAYBE OTHER FOLKS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE? *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 70 MPH THE ENGINE ON MY CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY STALLED. I HAD TO COAST TO A STOP AND RESTART THE ENGINE. IT STARTED UP FINE BUT 4-5 MIN LATER IT STALLED OUT AGAIN WHILE TURNING INTO THE SCHOOL PARKING LOT. AGAIN IT STARTED UP FINE. AT LOW SPEEDS, I NOW EXPERIENCE SOME ENGINE SURGING ISSUES. *TR

CAR STALLS OUT AFTER FILLING UP AT GAS STATIONS. AFTER SPEAKING WITH A MECHANIC AND RESEARCHING THE ISSUE IT SEEMS AS IF THERE IS PROBLEM WITH THE LIQUID SEPARATOR VALVE AND THE FIX FOR THIS WOULD BE TO REPLACE THE WHOLE GAS TANK INCLUDING THAT VALVE. UNLESS THE CAR REMAINS STARTED WHILE FILLING, THE STALLING PERSISTS CAUSING SAFETY HAZARDS ON THE HIGHWAY AND LOCAL ROADS. *TR

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, WE HEARD A VERY LOUD EXPLOSION SOUND. IT WAS SO LOUD, THAT AT FIRST, WE THOUGHT THAT THERE WAS AN ACCIDENT BEHIND US. OUR REAR VAN WINDOW HAD A WHOLE APPROXIMATELY 12"X14" ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE. EACH CORNER OF THE WINDOW ALSO HAD LARGE CHUNKS OF GLASS MISSING. LARGE CRACKS WERE RUNNING HORIZONTALLY THROUGH THE GLASS. WE HAD NO CARS DIRECTLY AROUND US, DID NOT RECENTLY DRIVE UNDER AN OVERPASS, AND HAD NO OBJECT INSIDE OF THE VAN THAT COULD HAVE CAUSED THE GLASS TO EXPLODE. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THAT WE HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN TO THIS VEHICLE. THE FIRST TIME IT OCCURRED, THE CAR WAS PARKED IN A PARKING LOT, AND WHEN WE APPROACHED THE VAN, WE SAW THE GLASS HAD SHATTERED AND WAS OUTSIDE OF THE VAN ON THE GROUND INDICATING THAT NO ONE HAD BROKEN INTO THE VAN. *TR

DRIVERS AIRBAG WARNING DASH INDICATOR COMES ON DRIVING DURING WET ROAD CONDITIONS, OR DRIVING THROUGH RAIN AND PUDDLES. CONTACTED DEALER AND CHRYSLER CORP. RECEIVED A LETTER OF DECLINE FOR ANY WARRANTY SERVICE FOR THIS FAULT. I EXPECTED A SAFETY CONDITION SUCH AS THIS AIRBAG FAULT TO BE MORE OF A CONCERN FOR CHRYSLER. *TR

MY 2007 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY TOURING MINIVAN STALLS AFTER FILLING UP WITH GAS EVERYTIME WHEN GET GAS. VAN STARTS AND YOU START TO DRIVE AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR STALLS IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION AND YOU HAVE TO SHIFT VAN INTO PARK QUICKLY AND THEN RESTART VAN AND THEN PUT IN GEAR. CAN DRIVE A MILE DOWN THE ROAD AND IT HAPPENS IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING AT A HIGHER SPEED. ONCE YOU DRIVE IT FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES CONTINUOUS IT STOPS STALLING UNTIL THE NEXT TIME YOU GET GAS. ALSO SOMETIMES WHEN TRYING TO FILL UP GAS TANK, IF CLOSE TO EMPTY, THE SENSOR IN THE GAS TANK THAT LET'S THE GAS STATION PUMP KNOW THAT THE TANK IS FULL MAKES THE PUMP STOP AFTER JUST A GALLON PUMPED IN AND KEEP SENDING THAT SIGNAL THAT IT IS FULL AND WON'T LET YOU FILL ANYMORE. HAVE TO WAIT TILL THE NEXT DAY BEFORE IT LET'S YOU FILL UP COMPLETELY WITHOUT DOING THAT SENSOR ISSUE. HOWEVER IT DOES THE STALLING AFTER FILLING UP WITH GAS NO MATTER HOW MUCH GAS IS PUT IN THE GAS TANK. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. WHILE DRIVING AT 40 MPH, THE CHECK ENGINE AND THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL (ETC) WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED AND THE CONTACT NOTICED A BURNING ODOR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 123,412.

CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY 2007- SHORTLY AFTER REFUELING THE VEHICLE, WITH NO WARNING THE RPM'S WILL DROP AND THE ENGINE WILL STALL. THIS EVENT USUALLY HAPPENS AS I AM MERGING INTO TRAFFIC FROM THE GAS STATION. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION BECAUSE THE POWER BRAKES AND STEERING ASSIST IS LOST DURING A STALL! *TR

SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET SERIOUSLY INJURED IF CHRYSLER DOES NOT ADDRESS THE FUELING PROBLEM IN ITS VEHICLES. AFTER FUELING, MY VAN WILL EITHER BEGIN SPUTTERING AND THEN STALL OR STALL WITHOUT WARNING. I RECENTLY FUELED AT A GAS STATION ON AN EXIT OFF OF INTERSTATE 70. UPON ENTERING THE HIGHWAY FROM THE ON RAMP, MY VAN STALLED. FORTUNATELY, THE TRACTOR TRAILER APPROACHING ME IN MY LANE WAS ABLE TO SWERVE INTO THE ADJACENT LANE AND AVOID HITTING ME. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT WHERE I HAVE THE VEHICLE SERVICED AND TOLD THEM ABOUT THE PROBLEM. THEY SAID THEY ARE "HEARING ABOUT THIS ISSUE MORE AND MORE" AND SIMPLY ADVISED ME TO "NOT FILL UP THE VAN WITH GAS ALL THE WAY". THEY ALSO MENTIONED THAT CHRYSLER 300 MODELS HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. WHAT IS BEING DONE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM? *TR

AFTER GREEN LIGHT, I MADE THE RIGHT TURN FROM A SMALL ROAD TO MAIN ROAD. WHEN THE CAR WAS HALF WAY INTO THE MAIN ROAD (ABOUT 45 DEGREE), THE ENGINE JUST DEAD, AND A LOT OF SYMBOLS LIGHTED UP ON THE PANEL. I HAVE TO COMPLETELY TURN THE KEY TO OFF POSITION, AND RE-IGNITE THE CAR. WHEN THIS INCIDENT HAPPENED, THERE IS NOTHING ATTACHED TO THE KEY. ONLY CAR KEY ITSELF WAS INSIDE THE IGNITION HOLE. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER A FEW MONTH BACK, REPORTED THE SAME ISSUE HAPPENED TWICE WHILE I CALLED THEM LAST TIME. THEY TOLD US THEY WERE AWARE THIS ISSUE AND WERE REVIEWING IT, AND SUGGESTED US TO REMOVE ALL OTHER KEYS FROM KEY CHAIN. THIS TIME I'M JUST REPORTING THE INCIDENT ON THE GOVERNMENT WEBSITE, SO OTHERS CAN SEE AND HOPEFUL CHRYSLER WILL RECALL THE CAR FOR THIS ISSUE. *TR

THE HEADLIGHTS RANDOMLY GO OUT WHILE THE SWITCH IS IN THE ON POSITION. THEY MAY WORK FINE FOR 10 MINUTES OR AN HOUR, THEN GO DARK. IF I WIGGLE THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH I CAN SOMETIMES GET THEM TO COME BACK ON BRIEFLY, BUT IT IS TRULY HIT AND MISS IF THEY WILL STAY ON OR NOT. THERE DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE ANY PARTICULAR 'SWEET SPOT' ON THE SWITCH AND IT DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE AFFECTED BY SMOOTH OR BUMPY ROADS. IT IS QUITE SCARY AND DANGEROUS ESPECIALLY ON THE DARK MOUNTAIN ROADS I HAVE TO DRIVE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE ENGINE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. AFTER RESTARTING THE VEHICLE, IT RESUMED NORMALLY. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ONLY AFTER REFUELING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000.

AFTER FUELING VEHICLE WHERE TANK IS FILLED (TO FIRST CLICK OFF, NO MORE) THE CAR STALLS A SHORT WHILE AFTER LEAVING THE GAS STATION IF YOU HAVE TO STOP, OR SLOW DRAMATICALLY( STOPS, TURNS ETC., SHORTLY AFTER FILLING,(NORMALLY WITHIN 5 MIN. OR LESS) FOR TRAFFIC, LIGHTS, ETC. THIS PROBLEM IS CAUSED BY A VALVE FAILURE IN THE GAS TANK ALLOWING THE VAPOR RECOVERY LINE TO FILL WITH GAS WHICH AT A PRESELECTED TIME OPENS INTO THE INTAKE SYSTEM AND WHEN AT LOW SPEEDS, OR STOPS FLOODS THE ENGINE WITH RAW GAS CAUSING THE STALL. WHEN BEING ABLE TO CONTINUE ACCELERATE YOU STILL FEEL A DEFINITE BOG IN THE ENGINE WHEN THIS HAPPENS, ALTHOUGH IT DOES NOT STALL. THE ENGINE NORMALLY RESTARTS, BUT THAT WOULD NOT HELP MUCH IF YOU STALLED IN APPROACHING TRAFFIC OR SUCH. I ALSO OWN A 2003 DODGE CARAVAN WITH 100K+ MILES AND IT HAS DONE IT FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS STARTING AT AROUND 85K SAME SYMPTOMS AS 2007 VAN. I WAS WONDERING IF THERE ARE ANY RECALLS OR OTHER COMPLAINTS ON THIS. VERY DANGEROUS IN THE RIGHT CIRCUMSTANCE. CHRYSLER SAYS PART IS NOT REPAIRABLE OTHER THAN BY CHANGING TO FUEL TANK COMPLETELY, MY COST ON THE TANK WITH ME REPAIRING IT IS $900.00. SURE LIKE TO SEE THEM FIX BOTH OF MINE AND I ALSO OWN A 2006 T&C SO I AM WAITING FOR IT TO START AS IN HAS A LITTLE OVER 92K SO I GUESS ITS DONE GOOD TO GET THERE WITHOUT A PROBLEM. A GOOGLE SEARCH REVEALS MORE PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM ALSO, AND IS HOW I FIGURED OUT THE CAUSE. THANKS FOR ANY HELP.

AFTER I FILL UP MY VAN THEN STARTING AFTER ABOUT 30 SECONDS TO A MINUTE THE ENGINE WOULD RUN ROUGH AND IF YOU DID NOT GIVE IT THE GAS IT WOULD STOP. I MENTIONED THIS TO MY DEALER BUT THEY DID NOT KNOW OR HEAR OF THIS PROBLEM. IN THE NOVEMBER 2014 ISSUE OF CONSUMER REPORTS I NOTICED IN THE "ROAD REPORT" SECTION ABOUT FUEL TANK PROBLEMS WITH 2007-2008 CHRYSLER VEHICLES. I CHECKED THE WEB AND IN THE "ALLPAR.COM NEWS" THAT COVERS ALL CHRYSLER VEHICLES IT HAD A ARTICLE ABOUT 2006-2007 VEHICLES "STALLING ON A FULL FUEL TANK". I HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN MARCH OF 2011 WITH APPROXIMATELY 32000 MILES. MY DEALER SAID SINCE THERE WAS NO RECALL ON THIS THAT THEY COULD NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS UNLESS I PAID TO HAVE IT FIXED. IN THE ALLPAR ARTICLE IT STATED THAT IT IS THE PROBLEM WITH THE "STANT-BUILT FLOATS IN THE FUEL TANK". I AM USE TO THIS HAPPENING SO I AM READY FOR IT. I KEEP MY FOOT ON THE GAS IN NEUTRAL IF I AM STOPPED TO ENSURE THE ENGINE DOES NOT DIE. IF I AM DRIVING JUST NEED TO BE AWARE AND KEEP ON THE GAS AND IT PASSES IN ABOUT 10 SECONDS. PLEASE HELP. THANKS *TR

I PURCHASED VEHICLE FROM A CHRYSLER DEALER IN MOBILE, AL IN NOVEMBER 2014,DID,NT REALLY USE THE A/C UNTIL MARCH 2015 AND THEN THERE WAS A WATER BUILD UP ON FLOOR, I CLEANED OUT DRAIN TUB BUT IT STILL LEAKED WATER ONTO FLOOR. *TR

THE HORN STARTED ACTIVATING ON ITS OWN, LASTING 2-3 MINUTES AT A TIME WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAS PERSISTED SINCE THAT DATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO INFORMED ME THAT THE ISSUE (AFTER DIAGNOSTICS) WAS THE AIRBAG IN THE STEERING WHEEL IS SLOWLY EXPANDING CAUSING THE CONTACTS ON THE HORN TO ACTIVATE. THEY ALSO INDICATED THAT THE AIRBAG COULD HAVE DEPLOYED WITHOUT NOTICE. THIS COULD HAVE RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT WHICH IT DID NOT IN THIS CASE AS I TOOK IT QUICKLY TO THE A DEALER, WHERE IT SITS TODAY. THE DEALER ASSISTANT SERVICE MANAGER ALSO INDICATED THEY HAVE HEARD OF THIS ISSUE I HAVE HAPPENING ON THE RARE OCCASION. THIS NOT FROM NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR AND I FEEL IT SHOULD BE RESEARCHED BEFORE SOMEONE IS INJURED OR KILLED SHOULD THE AIRBAG DEPLOY. I ALSO THINK CHRYSLER SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO PROVIDED REPAIRS TO THESE VEHICLES, I HAVE SENT A REQUEST TO CHRYSLER AS WELL. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME IN THIS MATTER. *TR

VAN SURGED AND STALLED WHILE ENTERING THE FREEWAY AFTER FILLING THE FUEL TANK THIS HAPPENS RANDOMLY AFTER FILL UPS. *TR

ENGINE SHUT OFF GOING AROUND A CORNER IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD. HAD TO RESTART VAN. *TR

AFTER REFUELING THE VAN WILL SPUTTER AND SOMETIMES SHUT OFF. WOULD HATE TO BE ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY OR INTERSECTION WHEN THIS OCCURS. HATE GETTING ANY GAS ANY MORE. *TR

AFTER FILLING UP WITH GAS AND PULLING OUT OF GAS STATION, THE VAN WILL STALL. I EXPECT THIS NOW AND TRY TO GET IT TO STALL IN THE GAS STATION PARKING LOT BUT THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS IF YOU HAVE TO PULL OUT INTO TRAFFIC. HAPPENS EVERY TIME I GET GAS NOW. ONLY FILL UNTIL PUMP TURNS OFF TO AVOID OVER-FILLING BUT IT DOESN'T HELP. SAW THIS WAS DUE TO FAILING VALVES IN GAS TANK ALLOWING LIQUID FUEL INTO THE CHARCOAL CANISTER BUT THERE ISN'T A RECALL. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ITEM DUE TO THE SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. THE CONTACT STATED THE VEHICLE STALLED WHILE DRIVING. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V373000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM); HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

WE HAVE HAD REPEATED ISSUES WITH THE ENGINE SUDDENLY SHUTTING DOWN. IT HAPPENS IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING AND IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. THERE HAVE BEEN TIMES WE ARE GOING AROUND A CURVE OR PULLING OUT IN TRAFFIC AND THE ENGINE WILL JUST SHUT OFF. THE VAN HAS TO BE PUT IN NEUTRAL AND THE KEY HAS TO BE TURNED ON. WE HAVE ELIMINATED ALL KEYS FROM OUR FOB. THE VAN HAS BEEN INSPECTED BY NUMEROUS MECHANICS AND NO ONE HAS BEEN ABLE TO DETERMINE WHAT THE ISSUE IS. WE ARE EXTREMELY CONCERNED THAT OUR FAMILY IS GOING TO BE KILLED IN A CRASH BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. THE ENGINE SHUTTING OFF CONTINUES TO GET WORSE. CHRYSLER HAS TOLD US THERE ARE NO RECALLS. WHY DOES IT TAKE NUMEROUS DEATHS IN ORDER FOR THERE TO BE A RECALL? WE BOUGHT THIS VAN BECAUSE WE THOUGHT IT WAS SAFE AND NOW WE FEAR IT IS GOING TO SERIOUSLY INJURE OR KILL OUR FAMILY. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS. *TR

I WAS DRIVING AND MY CAR JUST SHUT OFF. I HAD TO PULL OFF ROAD NO POWER STEERING . I DIDN'T TOUCH IGNITION OR ANYTHING IT JUST SHUT OFF. I PULLED OVER PUT IN PARK AND IT DID RESTART HAS NOT HAPPENED TODAY VERY SCARY. *TR

MULTIPLE TIMES (3 TIMES TO DATE), IMMEDIATELY AFTER FILLING UP THE FUEL TANK, THE ENGINE HAS STALLED SHORTLY AFTER STARTING THE ENGINE AND PULLING AWAY FROM THE PUMP. WE DIDN'T GET ONTO THE ROADWAY BEFORE THE ENGINE STALLED. AFTER SHIFTING TO PARK AND RESTARTING, THE ENGINE RAN NORMALLY. THIS STALLING AFTER REFUELING ISSUE HAS BEEN REPORTED BY NUMEROUS OTHER TOWN & COUNTRY OWNERS. *JS

OUR 2007 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY VAN HAS EXPERIENCED SEVERAL INSTANCES OF STALLING AFTER FILL-UP. I NOW SEE THAT OTHERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS. THE WORST TIMES ARE WHEN WE LET IT GO BELOW 1/4 TANK BEFORE FILLING. TWO (2) TIMES THIS HAS NEARLY LED TO ACCIDENTS. ONE (1) TIME WHILE TURNING, AND ANOTHER WHEN IT STALLED PULLING AWAY FROM A STOP SIGN. I AM NOW THE ONLY DRIVER ALLOWED TO DRIVE THE VAN AFTER FILL UPS, SINCE I WON'T TAKE THE CHANCE OF THE VEHICLE STALLING WHEN MY WIFE OR DAUGHTERS ARE DRIVING. WHILE THE REPORT I READ SAID THERE HAVE BEEN NO ACCIDENTS OR DEATHS REPORTED YET, THIS MALFUNCTION WILL CERTAINLY LEAD TO THEM. I IMPLORE THE NHTSA AND CHRYSLER FIAT TO RECALL AND FIX THIS ISSUE BEFORE A VAN FULL OF KIDS STALLS TURNING IN FRONT OF A TRUCK. THANK YOU. *TR

THE VAN HAS STALLED A HANDFUL OF TIMES WHILE MID-TURN AFTER BEING FUELED UP! THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME AND MY WIFE. I JUST READ AN ARTICLE ABOUT THIS HAPPENING IN OUR LOCAL PAPER AND WAS SHOCKED THAT OTHERS HAVE HAD THE PROBLEM AS WELL. HERE IS THE ARTICLE: HTTP://WWW.DETROITNEWS.COM/ARTICLE/20140909/AUTO0101/309090093/1361/COMPLAINT-LEADS-TO-PROBE-OF-CHRYSLER-MINIVAN-STALLING-ISSUE PLEASE KEEP ME POSTED ON THIS ISSUE! THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM. WHEN THE CAR STALLS, EVERYTHING GOES OUT....NO POWER STEERING AT SLOW SPEED AROUND A TURN IS BAD! THANK YOU! *TR

VEHICLE SOMETIMES STALLS OR DIES AFTER FILLING UP WITH FUEL. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER STARTING THE VEHICLE, A WHINING NOISE EMITTED FROM THE STEERING WHEEL. THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT AFTER APPROXIMATELY 10 MINUTES THE NOISE WOULD STOP. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 45,000.

WE HAVE NOTICED AN EXTREME AMOUNT OF RUST IN THE WHEEL WELLS AND THE FRAME OF THE SLIDING DOORS. THIS VAN HAS BEEN WELL CARED FOR AND DO NOT THINK THE RUST IS A FEEL CAUTION OF ITS CARE. I AM UNSURE IF THE SLIDING DOOR FRAME WILL REMAIN INTACT AND WE MAY NEED TO STOP OPENING IT UP. *TR

FOR A LITTLE WHILE NOW WHEN WE HAVE THE A/C RUNNING IT LEAKS FROM THE FIREWALL ONTO THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VAN FLOOR. IF THE A/C IS RAN LONG ENOUGH WITH OUT DRYING OUT THE FLOOR ON THE DRIVERS SIDE GETS WET ALSO. I KNOW THERE IS A RECALL ON THE 2008 TOWN AND COUNTRY'S FOR THE REASON. OUR VAN WAS BUILT IN JANUARY 2007 AND THE RECALL ON THE 2008'S START ON JUNE 27, 2007 AND GO TO JULY 30, 2008 MANUFACTURED VANS. I DO BELIEVE MY VAN SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN ON THIS RECALL BECAUSE WE HAVE HAD THE A/C DRAIN CLEANED AND THAT IS NOT WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. THE LEAK IS FROM THE FIREWALL WHERE THE A/C CONNECTS TO THE INSIDE OF THE VAN UNDER THE CARPET. WE HAVE SEEN IT LEAK AND I WOULD LOVE FOR IT TO BE FIXED SINCE THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH IT. PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT I CAN DO. I DON'T WANT THE CARPET TO ROT OUT AND I DON'T WANT ANYTHING TO BE MESSED UP EITHER. THANK YOU. ALSO WE HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE VIN SINCE WE GOT THE VAN.... WE HAVE ALWAYS BEEN TOLD IT IS AN INVALID VIN IT WOULDN'T EVEN WORK ON THIS SITE BUT THAT IS WHAT IS ON THE VAN IN THE VIN LOCATION. I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE INSURANCE COMPANY OR THE REVENUE OFFICE DID TO GET IT TO WORK. *TR
